The Courtesan Meizan of the Chojiya on a Balcony Overlooking the Sumida River

Kikukawa Eizan

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woman in a red kimono with white designs and a black under-kimono stands on a balcony overlooking a river. Her kimono has a large black bow at the back. She wears a gold hairpiece that sticks out to the sides. Her right arm is raised, and her left arm is obscured. She stands in front of a beige wall with vertical slats. The background shows a river with boats, trees, and a distant landscape with red-roofed buildings. The woman's lower kimono spills onto the floor of the balcony.
